North Korea blows up unused roads linking to South Korea
A TV screen reports North Korea has blown up parts of northern side of inter-Korean roads during a news program at Seoul Railway Station in Seoul, South Korea, October 15, 2024

NORTH KOREA blew up sections of unused roads linking it with South Korea today, prompting Seoul’s troops to fire warning shots.

The incident followed an exchange of threats between the two rivals after the North claimed that the South had flown drones over its capital Pyongyang.

Two roads and two railway lines were built in the 2000s, an era of co-operation, to reconnect the two countries across their heavily fortified border.
